By sprinkling kibble on the mat, your dog uses its innate sense of smell, making every meal an enriching experience. Our approach involved a deep dive into dog behavior, combining elements from various toys, experimenting with colors, and employing a unique fastening system for a playfully secured experience.
In conceptualizing the Snuffle Mat, our focus was not only on creating a functional accessory but also on understanding and enhancing the sensory experience for dogs. We considered the innate curiosity and olfactory abilities of our canine friends, using these insights to design a product that goes beyond mere utility. The result is a thoughtfully crafted mat that not only meets the nutritional needs of your pet but also provides mental stimulation and enrichment during mealtime.
